2.2.18

śayana-gatāv evoru-vyatyāsaṃ bhuja-vyatyāsaṃ ca sa:saṃgharṣam iva ghanaṃ saṃsvajete tat [3] tila-taṇḍulakam.

(3) When lovers lie on a bed and embrace each other so closely that the arms and thighs of the one are encircled by the arms and thighs of the other, and are, as it were, rubbing up against them, this is called an embrace like "the mixture of sesamum seed with rice."

Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
